      The original cover for this book by Albert Oon

      Chapter 1 – Cultural Conflict

      My name is Benedetto Vuoto and I am the next hero chosen to bring humanity closer to perfection. After bringing down the central government, the Socia Agmina, and putting them under my control things have been peaceful. My group of reformed bandits called the Sparrows have been the peacekeepers of the land for the Socia Agmina. We’ve grown so large since we’re composed of members from all cultures. People respect us more than the Socia Agmina, not only because of the reformed bandits but because of our people-centered ideology and close relationship with even the poorest in the world. The Sparrows are not only peacekeepers, but they are also a charity and teachers to some extent.

      I’ve had three children with Donna, my wife and former leader of the Sparrows. My close friends Stella and Corso are my most trusted advisors and protectors. Even though there are definitely people better suited to their roles, I still keep the advice of my family and friends close to me. Despite the new peace that I’ve established, there’s still conflict and crime in the land. It might just be human nature for it to happen, but it’s something I’d rather not hear about even though I need to be notified of it in order to fix it. Besides that, all of the cultures, including my own, are starting to want proof that I’m a hero that will carry humanity through to the next state of the world mostly unscathed. This is especially true of the Blighted, the most traditional and conservative culture out of the three. Right now, Donna, and I are being escorted to Temperance, their capital city by a small group of our Sparrows. Hopefully, things will go down well.

      ‘I hope for your sake they do. Remember, the Blighted are stiff with being proved wrong.’

      And they were almost too easy to convince the first time we met, Tunc.

      ‘The appearance of a new hero means the end of the world is coming. That and the things you accomplished in a short amount of time must’ve had them on edge. I wish it was the older days when people got behind you just because you had a blessing granted to you by God.’

      I was it was too, old timer.

      ‘Hey, I’ll have you know that my human half still looks perfectly young.’

      But your skeletal half and actual age make even the oldest buildings look brand new. Tell me, is there any big tasks I’m supposed to do?

      ‘There is. You have to get the cultures to submit or trust you. That can be done in whatever way you decide.’

      That explains why you’ve been talking to me more recently. Got a tip I could use?

      ‘Besides telling them that this is a special turning point, I’ll tell you that an influential and powerful young girl in the Cuchillos by the name of Bonito is interested in you.’

      I’m not dressing in a cat boy outfit again.

      ‘Don’t jump to conclusions. You don’t need to marry her or anything like you did with Donna. This girl will help you expose corrupt individuals in the Cuchillos, which should get them to completely trust you.’

      Any catches?

      ‘She might get a little touchy, so watch out and keep Donna safe.’

      I’ll go see the Cuchillos after this then see if I’ll go through with your hint.

      ‘You have a time-traveling blessing that allows you to travel anywhere in time as long as you know the exact time, day, and place. Why are you being so stingy with it? You haven’t used it once.’

      It’s because I like this strength you gave me for not using it after my first big victory.

      ‘It’s useful, ain’t it? You can actually carry your wife instead of it being the other way around. Hahaha!’

      Whatever. I’ve grown up since those days. I’m
